Male star Green will play football at Ohio St.

Male High School standout football player Justin Green committed to Ohio State University last night.


Green, who said Friday that he wanted to go through the recruiting process before picking a college, changed his mind after attending a Buckeyes camp last week.

The 5-foot-10, 178-pound running back/defensive back committed over the phone to OSU coach Jim Tressel.

"When I sat down and talked to the coaches, that was the deciding factor," said Green, who will be a senior. "I wanted to sit down and get to know them, hear what they had in mind for me. I just wanted to talk to them, and that did it for me."

Green, who won four Class 3-A track titles this month, will follow in his brother's footsteps to Ohio State. Marcus Green played there and lives in Columbus for most of the year.

"I have been to all the games, and I have seen the campus a whole bunch," Justin Green said. "Marcus being there is a big deal for me. Every time I have been there, it's been a great experience for me."

OSU football notebook: Buckeyes add two recruits
Brother of former player, Florida running back born in Ohio join class of 2009

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Ohio State picked up two more commitments from out-of-state prospects with in-state ties yesterday to push its 2009 recruiting class to 20 members.

Carlos Hyde, a power running back from Naples, Fla., whose parents still live in Cincinnati, and speedy receiver/defensive back Justin Green -- younger brother of former Ohio State defensive tackle Marcus Green -- picked the Buckeyes over several other schools.

"I basically like everything about that city and the school," said Justin Green, who, like his brother, is from Male High School in Louisville, Ky. "The tradition of the program is outstanding, the fans are great.

"I remember every time I went up there when I was little to watch my brother play I had a great time. I just thought it was time to make up my mind."

Welcome to the Buckeye family, Justin!! Thought you were going to keep us in suspense.

Great kid from a great HS with amazing wheels & athletic ability. You can't have enough guys like that on your team. Can't wait to see him in S&G.

I am not surprised that Justin committed here in the end. I am very happy to have him here. Welcome Justin.....great to have you here.

It's interesting that the coaches are planning on having him primarily at CB, but may also have him in there at WR for a little bit!
